[OpenJDK 2D-Dev] CR 6802962 test fix for openjdk8 - requesting a sponsor

[Andrew Brygin]

Hello Valerii,

  could you please provide some explanations for suggested changes?

  The main concern regarding suggested shell launcher is that a list of
  supported OS names is too limited. In particular, it does not include
  Cygwin* which likely makes this test failed on windows under cygwin
  environment (which is default for openjdk). Could you please make sure
  that modified test can be executed under cygwin?

Thanks,
Andrew
